- 1From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: To investigate associations between neighbourhood greenspace and weight status, and to explore the contribution of physical activity to these associations. DESIGN: Cross-sectional observational study over...
- 2From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Obesity is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality from pandemic influenza H1N1. Influenza is a significant public health threat, killing an estimated 250000-500 000 people worldwide each...
- 3From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: The skeletal muscle of obese humans is characterized by an inability to appropriately respond to alterations in substrate availability. The purpose of this study was to determine if this metabolic...
- 4From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute-phase protein that has been recently correlated with obesity and insulin resistance. Therefore, we first examined whether human recombinant SAA (rSAA) could...
- 5From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Pups of normally nourished dams that are cross-fostered after birth to dams fed a low-protein (8% by weight) diet (postnatal low protein (PLP)) grow slower during the suckling period and remain small and...
- 6From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: Cardiorespiratory fitness is currently estimated by dividing maximal oxygen consumption ([VO.sub.2max]) by body weight (per-weight standard). However, the statistically correct way to neutralize the effect of...
- 7From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Overweight prevalence has increased globally; however, current time trends of overweight prevalence by social class in lower income countries have not been fully explored. METHODS: We used repeated...
- 8From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are key mediators of energy homeostasis, and lipid and glucose metabolism that exhibit circadian expression. PPAR activating drugs are used clinically as lipid and...
- 9From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Food reinforcement is an empirical index of motivation to obtain food. Higher levels of food reinforcement are associated with increased energy intake and increased body weight. Food reinforcement can vary...
- 10From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: The fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO), a crucial gene that affects human obesity and metabolism, has been widely studied in mammals but remains poorly characterized in birds. We aimed to identify...
- 11From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObesity is a genetically complex disorder that produces a myriad of health problems. Most of the recognized complications of obesity are not only strongly influenced by lifestyle factors, but also present with...
- 12From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI, kg [m.sup-2]) and mortality rate among Hispanic adults. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Analysis of five data sets (total N = 16 798) identified after...
- 13From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: We examined whether aldosterone/Rho/Rho-kinase pathway contributed to obesity-associated nephropathy. SUBJECTS: C57BL/6J mice were fed a high fat or low fat diet, and mice on a high fat diet were treated with...
- 14From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Adipose tissue dysfunction is associated with inflammation, type 2 diabetes mellitus and vascular diseases. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT)-derived adipokines, which are released in the portal circulation may...
- 15From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Little is known about the effects of short-term caloric restriction (CR) and overfeeding (OF) on glucose homeostasis in healthy lean individuals. In addition, it remains unclear whether the effects of CR and...
- 16From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: Diabetes in Asia constitutes approximately half of the global burden. Although insulin resistance and incidence of type 2 diabetes differ substantially between ethnic groups within Asia, the reasons for these...
- 17From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: Leptin-deficient (ob/ob) mice are obese and infertile. Dysfunctions of the ovaries are preferentially related to leptin-deficiency. DESIGN: Morphological and molecular biological obesity-dependent changes...
- 18From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 36, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObesity is a risk factor for multiple disorders such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Recently, a genome-wide association study for body mass index (BMI) was conducted in 249 796 individuals of European ancestry...
